So I guess my two options are to get a longer sill and sit it over the insulation or install it on the outer leaf of brickwork.

Yep. It’s on the list of jobs.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Maybe I need to replace the sill and sit the entire window back a little.

I'm planning to fill the void with foam. S it looks like the window needs to sit back a bit more.

Hi, I'm replacing my old bay windows and have questions about how the new ones should sit. The window sills on the new windows are shorter than the old ones, so the windows need to sit more forward on the brickwork. This is the bay window space and new window. Is the sill ok to sit like this below? And is it ok for the middle of the window (not recessed) to return to the brickwork? Or does it need to sit more like this? Thanks! Ben

Cheers

Ok, I get what you’re suggesting, thanks. I can’t find the manifold joiners though. Where would you join the two manifolds together?

Hi guys, I need to add an additional 2 zones (4 runs) to my UFH. My original plumber has gone AWOL and no one else seems to want to take on the job. So it’s left down to me. Attached is a picture of what’s installed already. As you can see, there’s no more spaces left on the manifold. I do have 2 more ports left on the thermostat box though. What is the best option here? Replace the entire manifold? Add a second manifold in somewhere? Thanks for any advice guys! Ben

Cheers guys, good information!

Hi all, I know consumer units have torque requirements for the connection screws, but are there torque requirements for power and light switch screw connections too? Thanks, Ben

Hi all, I'm looking to build a new plinth wall around my new extension. The existing house (not the extension) is build with Lime Mortar. I'm not sure if I should go with Lime Mortar or a Hydralime/cement mix when building the new plinth. What are your thoughts? Cheers, Ben

The outlet is in that corner. I've checked, there's nothing holding it back. The membrane is above the felt. It's definitely a dip, probably around 15mm deep.

It does have a fall, so it shouldn’t pool. I think it’s a dip in the roof there.

The outlet is in the far corner, through the parapet wall. It’s still under construction, so it’s just a lead outlet at the moment. I'm not keen on the water pooling here. Maybe it can be fixed with some more layers of felt or resin?

Hi all, I’ve just had my new flat roof installed but water seems to be pooling in the corner by the gutter. Is this an issue or something I shouldn’t worry about? I’ve checked for any blockages but there’s nothing stopping the water going into the gutter. It just looks like there is a dip the water is collecting in.
